The Trump administration's new trade deal with Canada and Mexico leaves much of the old North American Free Trade Agreement intact.

The trilateral deal will no longer be called Nafta, they said, but will be named the “United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement.”

A public announcement of any new deal would occur late Sunday night, or possibly Monday

...there’s optimism it will be reached by the Sunday deadline

It was those attempted discussions that Trump was referring when he said he refused to meet Trudeau

...negotiators are “sort of running out of time” to include Canada in the trade deal with Mexico, which was finalized last month.

Not so long ago, Canada and the U.S. were the closest of comrades – then came Trump and ‘America First’

Trump’s deadline has passed, but the two sides will keep negotiating.

Bloomberg did not initially report the remarks, which Trump had said were off the record. A Canadian newspaper, the Toronto Star, published the remarks early Friday, and Bloomberg did not dispute them.

Speaking “off the record,” Trump said he is not compromising at all in trade negotiations with Canada — but could not say this publicly because “it’s going to be so insulting they’re not going to be able to make a deal.”

The sudden rocky patch came after days of optimism from negotiators in both countries

"We recognize that there is a possibility of getting there by Friday, but it is only a possibility, because it will hinge on whether or not there is ultimately a good deal for Canada"

A day after President Trump threatened to exclude Canada from a revised North American Free Trade Agreement, top Canadian officials raced to Washington and said they were moving “full steam ahead”

There is no formal free trade deal between the US and Mexico, only an agreement between the two countries on how to resolve key issues in their trade relationship as part of the NAFTA talks.

Yet while Mr. Trump may try to change the name, the agreement reached with Mexico is simply a revised Nafta

The announcement is also expected to include details of when Canadian officials will be returning to Washington to resume talks with the other two nations.

On Friday, the United States and Mexico appeared close to agreeing on how to revise the 24-year-old Nafta deal. Canada [...] was not party to the talks.

Riyadh has stopped sending patients to Canadian hospitals and told hundreds of trainee doctors to leave Canada with only weeks’ notice.

The U.S. government has declined to come to Canada’s defence in the growing diplomatic crisis over its criticism of Saudi Arabia’s human-rights' record.

Saudi Arabia expelled the Canadian ambassador, withdrew its ambassador from Canada and froze new business deals and investment with Canada.

Saudi Arabia's state media on Monday tweeted a graphic appearing to show an Air Canada airliner heading toward the Toronto skyline in a way that recalled the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Trump suggests he'll delay signing NAFTA until after the midterm elections

Canadian border guards have been screening travellers using a huge, secretive US anti-terrorism database that is almost never referred to publicly

Trump said on Tuesday that Canadians were smuggling shoes across the border “because the tariffs are so massive.” But under Nafta, Canada does not charge a tariff on American shoe imports.

He said he was trying to send a signal of strength on behalf of the administration, but that his language was inappropriate.

Peter Navarro says he was wrong to say there was ‘special place in hell’ for leaders like Justin Trudeau who cross Trump

Inexplicably, these foreigners are not putting America First. That’s why Trump needs to quit the group and make his own G-8

Canada has every right to be insulted that Mr. Trump would invoke national security in their trade dispute. Canada has stood with the United States in every modern war and crisis.

"There's a special place in hell for any foreign leader that engages in bad-faith diplomacy with President Donald J. Trump and then tries to stab him in the back on the way out the door," White House adviser Peter Navarro said Sunday on Fox News.

Trump said Saturday evening that he had instructed U.S. officials to withdraw support for a joint statement with other member nations he had backed just hours earlier,

Though President Trump has vehemently denied the property was ever operated as a brothel, history suggests otherwise.

Trudeau pressed Trump on how he could justify the tariffs as a "national security" issue. In response, Trump quipped to Trudeau, "Didn't you guys burn down the White House?" referring to the War of 1812.

The Trump administration said on Thursday that it would impose steep tariffs on metals imported from its closest allies, provoking retaliation against American businesses and consumers and further straining diplomatic ties

...the lead American trade negotiator, Robert Lighthizer, said the countries involved were “nowhere near close to a deal.”

The extension reflects concerns by the Trump administration of a swift retaliation on American products by European Union nations

A final agreement is far from guaranteed, but the White House is revising some of its more aggressive demands, particularly related to automobiles

Apparently, in Trumpland, trade in services simply does not count, even though it’s a big part of U.S. trade.

The point is that Trump, by his own admission, did not know whether there is a surplus or deficit yet claimed that he did know, in his conversation with Trudeau.

The complexity of the statistics measuring U.S.-Canadian trade flows allows each side the ability to support its claim by choosing from an array of data.

The United States ran a trade surplus of $600 million in goods and services with Canada in January, according to the Commerce Department,

“So he’s proud. I said, ‘Wrong Justin, you do.’ I didn’t even know. ... I had no idea. I just said ‘You’re wrong.’ You know why? Because we’re so stupid. … And I thought they were smart. I said, ‘You’re wrong Justin.’ He said, ‘Nope we have no trade deficit.’ I said, ‘Well in that case I feel differently,’ I said ‘but I don’t believe it.’ I sent one of our guys out, his guy, my guy, they went out, I said ‘check because I can’t believe it.’”

Trump agreed to exempt, for now, Canada and Mexico and held out the possibility of later excluding allies such as Australia.

“The proclamation will have a clause that does not impose these tariffs immediately on Canada and Mexico,” ... A permanent exclusion will hinge on those countries agreeing to a “great” trade deal in the ongoing renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement

The Trump administration sent mixed signals Sunday about its new aluminum and steel tariffs, saying that any exceptions for allies are unlikely but also leaving room for an unpredictable president to change his mind.

“Why are we signing a trade deal with a country that would unilaterally decide to restrict certain sectors?”

“We lose a lot with Canada. People don’t know it,” Trump said. “They have you believe that it’s wonderful, and it is — for them. Not wonderful for us — it’s wonderful for them.”

Canada filed a formal World Trade Organization dispute in December that seeks to protect billions of dollars of its exports to America that are suddenly under threat, in part because of President Trump’s NAFTA renegotiation.

Government officials and trade analysts described the mood around the talks as “cautiously optimistic” as Canada, in particular, joined Mexico in offering counterproposals to America’s requests for drastic changes

The case could expand into a multinational trade dispute given that Canada, a champion of global agreements, filed it in a way that allows other countries to join.

Trump’s Twitter bombs and rhetorical attacks on what he calls the “worst deal ever made” and his administration’s vague and confusing proposals have dismayed Canada, which is now exploring backup options. And they have infuriated Mexico ahead of a presidential election in which voters are demanding that their leaders stand up to the United States.

“At some point or another, Canada is going to have to strike back in a very aggressive way. Just continuing to take it on the chin doesn’t make any sense”

Trade negotiators from Canada, Mexico and the United States resume discussions on Friday over the future of the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Canadian officials are unlikely to be upset about the “Joe” gaffe. Joe from Canada is featured in Molson advertisements after all.

President Trump’s policies about who will be allowed to cross the border have Canadians so worried that school officials in and around Windsor have decided to suspend all student field trips to the American side.
